Stage 2: Fire

This broadcast is for educational purposes only, it is not a real news report.

Play the News clip above as you consider the RFS fire advice and fire maps below.

- What would you do?

- This fire could threaten your home. What would you pack if you have to evacuate?

- Have you pre – prepared an emergency travel kit for this possibility? What is in it?

- If you were unable to leave, or chose to, stay and defend your home – how should you prepare? What are your best sources of water, and where do you need them? What will you wear to protect yourself? Do you have basic fire fighting equipment – buckets, metal rakes, face masks, eye protection? One person cannot hope to defend a home in a bushfire – you need a team of family or neighbours – and no homes are designed to withstand catastrophic bush fires.
